There's something about the tartness of a lime that makes it the perfect complement to the salty flavor of these margarita chips.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoon fine-grained sea salt
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
12 corn tortillas (6-inch size), each cut into 6 wedges

directions

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the salt and lime zest in a small bowl.

Add the tortilla wedges, in small batches, to the hot oil. Cook for 30 seconds or until golden brown, turning as needed. Remove the tortilla chips from the oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling. Sprinkle with the lime salt.

Serve the margarita tortilla chips immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
